In short:

The NSW Land and Environment Court has ruled that a couple's caravan requires development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

Bega Valley Shire Council has welcomed the ruling but says tiny homes can play a role in providing diverse housing options.

What's next?

The Australian Tiny House Association says the decision may have implications for all tiny home owners in NSW.

And what’s the complaint? “Oh that lovely gay couple we’re living in an idyllic little house and being good neighbours as they tended to their land”

It’s such a victimless fucking crime.

    That will be one part, the other will be that some people in the area want the place to loom a certain way. I know of someone who owned a block that had a shipping container at the back of the block have council tell them that they need to move it. Their response was that they had a permit in to build on said block that had been sitting with council for at least 6 months. It got approved within a week.
